I like the layout on everything but the ladder. Figure out a way to have it fold back even if you need to fabricate a bracket.
Jeeze, Moose! I didn't even catch that...

Good point. 13 pounds more each is negligible and they're only a few hundred dollars more each at $14,950.

25" Shafts should work.

I'm confident I can make the ladder work going back. I agree, for putting it up and down it will be better going straight back and I've also read people having issues with it mounted on the side as the ladder bracket will rooster tail and spray the starboard engine. My bracket, engines and ladder aren't scaled or mocked up to specs in the illustrations. I just threw it together when I originally drew it and didn't give it much thought.

I'd have to check, but I believe that Dusky Drive Bracket dive platform is 80 inches across. I would think that will be enough to make it work.
